Last week, Remedy announced the sequel to its 2010 action-adventure game, Alan Wake 2. And although the team has not revealed any additional details, Sam Lake did confirm that it will be a third-person game.
Sam Lake also stated that Ilkka Villi and Matthew Porretta will return in the role of Alan Wake. Matthew Porretta will lend his voice to Alan Wake, whereas Ilkka Villi will lend his looks.
Thank you for being as excited about Alan Wake 2 as we are ❤️🔥🔦. A couple of easy clarifications before we go dark to continue the work. Yes, this is a 3rd person game. Yes, both Ilkka Villi and Matthew Porretta return in the role of Alan Wake. #AlanWake @alanwake @remedygames pic.twitter.com/8UvzXGgKdE

Alan Wake 2 will be coming exclusively to Epic Games Store. However, there isn’t currently any ETA on when the game will release.
Alan Wake 2 will be a current-gen only game. Since Control, the previous game from Remedy, used the Norightlight Engine, we can assume that AW2 will be also using this in-house engine. We can also assume that it will support NVIDIA’s DLSS tech and, perhaps, some Ray Tracing effects.
Stay tuned for more!

but it will be epic store exclusive, so i will pirate it, thanks timmy tencent
Yep. They’ll be turning Alan Wake into Alanis Woke.
Nvidia re-uploaded the AWII teaser via their GeForce channel … so of course they’ll partner up for RT and DLSS.
And yes, its a no-brainer that Alan Wake 2 is bound to be third person, since Remedy has been doing only third person but there is a recent outlier & that is the first person campaign for CrossFire X which they were working on.
Thank you Epic for making AW2 happen! ?

good work by the team
Dude your account always cracks me up lmao.
also we gonna get a new call of duty next november.
Remedy formula: third person shooter with a gimmick and the protagonist wearing a cool jacket.
? still a third person shooter with the torch as the gimmick for sure…or it ain’t Alan Wake then.
Some would argue that the first game is a Survival Horror specially on the highest difficulty too.
Hopefully the sequel goes more in line with the base game and not the DLC.
I am sure… this game will be a masterpiece
Thanks for this article Johnny. I had initially thought this would be a VR-only experience.
